twobears Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Well that's how it seems to me anyway as life in Madrid is waaaaay different to living in the back of beyond in East Yorkshire. Not sure if anyone will actually remember me but I just wanted it say !Hola! because it gets a bit lonely being in a city where you barely speak the language, although my twice weekly Spanish lessons should help remedy that! I was selling my Zed prior to moving here but when it came down to it I just couldn't bear to part with him so he's all tucked up in the UK and I sometimes have dreams about him. Sad or what? I am NOT getting a car in Madrid because the standard of driving here is atrocious. How can people who are perfectly pleasant as pedestrians suddenly undergo such a transformation I wonder? Anyway, I hope everyone is well and happy. I'm having fun here and I am living in what we Yorkshire folk would call 'a reet posh part of t'city', completely surrounded by designer shops and bars etc. You'd be hard pressed to swing a mouse, let alone a cat, in the apartment but it's home Quote
GMballistic Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Bet the weathers better than here in the UK and definitely better than it's been here in Wales. Hello from an ex-Yorkshire lad now living in South Wales (well have been since the late 80's ~ thanks Mum & Dad. ). Quote
ioneabee Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hiya twobears - was up in your "old" part of the country on Wednesday - lovely part of the world glad to hear your keeping well Andy Quote
twobears Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Hi Graham and GMballistic and Andy! I can't figure out how to get the smileys on my iPad or I'd wave! :wave: Edited February 28, 2014 by glrnet Quote
dragon Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hi two bears course we remember you how long are you staying out there? great that youv'e kept the z. Quote
twobears Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Not sure how long I'll be here. Could be another 6 months or a year or two. Depends on work really. If I come 'home' I've got to live in Surrey and not sure how I feel about that. Quote

twobears Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Hi Wasso! Hablas Espanol? Weirdly, I can now read it, even all the official documents, but I still can't bl**dy speak it! Quote
twobears Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Are you sure Graham? I'm not sure I speak the language in Surrey!!! Quote
ATTAK Z Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 No quiero habla con usted !!! only jokin' How are you Annie ? I'm a little bit jealous about you being in España ... Hope all is well 1 Quote
Ebized Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hi TB - hope the sun tan is coming on nicely - our webbed feet are here.......... Wow, that was lucky about your return - I've not long moved out of Surrey (only kidding) Quote
twobears Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 I was just about to flounce off Hugh but then I saw you were only joking! Mr Twobears is working his backside off but I am a lady of leisure and have even joined an all women gym (but the personal trainers are all young men, ha ha) so what's not for me to like?! I wish I knew how to find the smileys I am kind of dreading July because the heat will be unbearable but, otherwise it's great here Hi 14N ( please imagine the waving smiley) Quote
twobears Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 Colin, I'm not that bad!! Ha ha Quote
Ebized Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Smilies won't work for on the ipad for me either so its not the Spanish sun keeping yours in the shade. Strange thing is though you can see the smilies in others posts Quote

So it's get up at midday, exercise with some fit guys then Tinto De Verano's till the husband get's home. Wish that was my life with the exception of me exercising with fit girls & just waiting for the Mrs to get home. Quote
Ebized Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 type : wave : - but without the spaces Yep, does work but without even having the type option available in the 'more reply option' it's like to learning morse code (lol smilie) Quote
twobears Posted February 28, 2014 Author Posted February 28, 2014 I will, Hugh, thanks Yay, thanks Andy. Glad it's not just me Colin. Had assumed it was my lack of technology related skills. GMb, you've kind of got my life down to a tee, apart from the fact that every day feels like triple Spanish and then being put in detention 'cos I've got all my homework wrong! Right, although I'm only an hour ahead of you all, I'm off to bed. I may or may not have had a few glasses of vino blanco in my favourite tapas bar already ( Andy, I need the red-faced smiley here please)!! 1 Quote
ATTAK Z Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) lovely to hear from you Annie ... Edited February 28, 2014 by ATTAK Z Quote
Will370z Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Hi Annie, hope you are having fun out there in the sunshine with all the bars and good food. Enjoy. Pity you won't be here in the zed for wales this year, had some fun last year, but looks like we may see you back down here in surrey sometime. Quote
